James Vollmer, 8, of Jackson, surveys the ice on Gillettes Lake while taking a break from ice fishing on Sunday evening in Leoni Township. Vollmer and his brother (not pictured) had insisted their parents take them ice fishing on the last day of their winter vacation.

This is an older photo from an ice fishing essay I shot last month. This image didn't make the paper, but I really love the light, snow and the calm mood.
